Two wins in a row, Pimienta’s new goal

He Sevilla FC faces this Sunday a new league duel against the Royal Society at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. He does so after recovering from the loss against Barcelona, ​​since García Pimienta’s men took the three points from Cornellá and fulfilling their duty in Las Rozas. Now, the Seville team intends to define its objective against Imanol Alguacil’s team. This is what the Sevilla coach made evident in the press conference prior to this duel: «We have played eleven days, I have a good feeling about the dynamic we have, but we don’t even have 50% of the points. The match against Real Sociedad will continue to gauge us as a team and the room for growth. We have the obligation to compete. Regardless of the result we get, there will be a lot of league ahead and the objectives must be set at the end.”

Sevilla’s place in LaLiga will be established in the long term, but what the team can achieve immediately is a much more mundane objective: chain two consecutive victories in the home competition. And the Nervionense team has not won two games in the league since last April. He did it Quique Sánchez Flores in the period prior to the drop in the team’s performance, once the goal of permanence has been reached. Sevilla won Getafe (0-1), Las Palmas (0-2) and Mallorca (2-1)which was the team’s best streak of the entire 2023-24 season.

Now, Sevilla has the opportunity to get their hands on the Royal Society at home. Pimienta’s team have won the last three games they have played at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, a cadence that they want to continue giving continuity to. The San Sebastian team visits the white and red club at low times, since its start to the league has not been the most consistent. At home, they have only achieved one victory, although away from home they have shown better performance. Nevertheless, Real Sociedad is three points behind Sevilla and a local victory would be a great boost for Sevilla’s ambitions. It so happens that the Basque team will visit the capital of Seville without having played their cup match, which has been postponed by DANA. It is true that the San Sebastian team do have an appointment with the Europa League next Thursday, since they visit the Czech Republic to face Victoria Pilzen.
